Have you been "glutenized"?

This week on Living Undoctored, host Rachel Ash and wellness expert Melissa Crispell go in-depth about gluten, the symptoms it can cause, plus tips for supporting your body's response to gluten. Listen in and learn how gluten breaks down intestinal lining, allowing unwanted toxins and chemicals to enter the bloodstream. For some gluten is a sensitivity to be avoided. For others, it's a medical condition resulting in zero tolerance. Melissa's tips include drinking more water, eating fiber rich foods, eating foods with known anti-inflammatory properties, and supporting your system with digestive enzymes as a dietary supplement. Which supplement? Melissa will introduce you to Carb & Gluten Assist from our show sponsor, Pure Essentials. "I wouldn't want someone to think this is your ticket to go 'gluten crazy' but it is your assistance and your relief from the symptoms if you've had gluten exposure."
